Where To Find Grimmer Schmidt Parts For Different Air Compressors


by Harriett Crosby


If you already own an air compressor you will know how useful they can be. Small ones are used for pumping up bicycle tires and balls, and for various other blowing tasks around the house. They are even successful for getting mud out of your boots. Larger ones are often used at car garages and gas stations, and are capable of things beyond just that of inflation, such as running power tools. When any type of compressor stops working, they may need replacement components, such as Grimmer Schmidt parts.

There are plenty of shops both offline and online that have accessories for air compressors. A lot of people are doing their shopping online nowadays because of the convenience. The websites display the products they have for sale along with their prices. When you are aware of the item you want to buy, then an online order is very convenient.

If you own a small air compressor that has stopped working, you may find it easier to buy another one, as they are quite cheap. Repairing an old one may cost almost as much as a new one anyway. When you have a big, expensive one, however, it is worth trying to fix it if it is not working properly. A new part or a few adjustments may be all it needs.

Sometimes compressors break down and need some professional assistance, but if you are handy with a wrench and screw driver it is often the case that you can fix it yourself. First you will need to check that all the electrical connections are in order. Make sure it is plugged in and that the power plug is working and turned on. If it is cutting out after a few minutes it may not be receiving enough power, or it could be overheating.

Compressor machines have safety guards that will turn them off when they overheat. The motor overload protector ensures the engine goes off if it gets above a certain temperature. If this happens, let the machine cool for a few minutes and then use the reset button to get it going again.

If your compressor does come on, but does not have sufficient pressure, you can look for an air leak. Take off all the tools and hoses, turn on the machine and use a soap and water solution to cover the various connections where air could be escaping. If air is coming out from one of them, bubbles will appear.

The tank of the air compressor will need to be released of its pressure before you start working on the leaky fittings. Just find the valve that releases the pressure and then tighten the components or place Teflon over the problematic areas. The threads may also need to be redone. Sometimes the quic-connect machine parts need some adjusting, or even re-connecting.

While you are inspecting your machine, look out for any components that are obviously showing wear and tear. You may notice cracks, or a part that is broken. Many people have found that Grimmer Schmidt parts for air compressors are of a high quality. These components can quite easily be located and ordered online.
